Hyderabad, India — February 25, 2026
Wedding festivities for Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna are officially underway, with new details emerging about traditional ceremonies and family customs that will define their much-anticipated union.
According to sources close to the couple, the celebrations will blend two cultural traditions, symbolizing both families’ heritage. A special heirloom presentation is expected to take center stage during the sangeet ceremony.
Family Heirloom to Be Presented at Sangeet
During the sangeet ceremony, Vijay’s mother, Madhavi Deverakonda, is expected to present Rashmika with traditional family bangles passed down through generations.
Sources describe the gesture as more than a jewelry gift. The heirloom bangles symbolize acceptance into the family, love, and the continuation of legacy. The presentation is expected to take place before the musical festivities begin, making it one of the most emotional highlights of the evening.
The sangeet is reportedly being hosted at a luxury lakeside hotel, with elaborate décor, music performances, and choreographed dance numbers planned for the celebration.
